Rachel’s Tears challenged me. It is one of the most inspiring stories that I’ve read in such a long time.
Rachel was gunned down at Columbine High School 10 years ago. Her legacy lives on. The book gives you a sneak peek into her innermost feelings through her drawings and journal. No doubt. She loved Jesus. She was a Christ Follower and she continued until the end of her life. She was spiritual beyond her years. She had such a connection with God that she knew that her time on earth was short. Rachel’s Tears is a reminder that we need to take each day as a gift. Live each day as if it was the last. It could be. I felt challenged by her story. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the daily “to do’s” but Rachel reminds me to always put Jesus as number one. She had a dream to impact the world. Through her death, she did. Millions have been impacted by her faith. I pray that if given the same situation, that I would choose Jesus no matter what the consequence may be. Rachel was not perfect but through Jesus Christ she kept her thoughts “in check” by constant communion with God. I pray that others will be challenged and will do the same.
